Working height: up to 13.8 m
Best for: warehouses, retail, indoor maintenance, and picking or lift-out tasks
Key checks: working height, platform capacity, turning radius, and extension deck size.
| Type | Capacity (kg) | Working Height (mm) | Service Weight (kg) | Turning Radius (mm) | Gradeability (%) | Travel Speed (km/h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boom Lifts | 200 to 250 | Up to 28,000 | 6,000 to 18,000 | Inside 1,550 to 2,000 / Outside 3,250 to 6,100 | 25 to 40 | 4.2 to 6 |
| Scissor Lifts | 230 to 450 | Up to 13,800 | — | 398 to 434 | 30 | 4 |
Choosing the right platform comes down to the working height you need, the type of reach, and how your site conditions affect access and stability. Work through the steps below, then compare models by height, platform capacity and power type.
Measure the highest task point on site, such as lights, racking or the roofline. Compare models on working height, which already includes the operator, and leave a safety margin for uneven ground.
For mostly vertical access and a large stable platform, such as picking, lift-out and maintenance, choose a scissor lift. For work at awkward angles that needs to reach over or around racking, machinery or roof edges, choose an articulated boom lift.
For smooth indoor concrete and tight manoeuvring, choose an electric model for zero emissions and quiet operation. For ground that is gravel, soft, uneven or wet most of the time, choose a diesel model for traction and gradeability. Boom lifts generally handle tougher slopes than scissor lifts, so for steep or broken ground, confirm the gradeability rating of the specific model.
Indoor warehouse or retail, vertical access, large work platform
→ Choose a scissor lift for a stable deck and simple straight-up access.
Reaching over racking, machinery or roof edges at awkward angles
→ Choose an articulated boom lift for up-and-over reach.
Smooth indoor concrete, low emissions, quiet operation
→ Choose an electric model for clean indoor work.
Gravel, soft or uneven ground, outdoor construction, slopes
→ Choose a diesel model, and check the gradeability rating for your steepest ground.
Very high outdoor access up to 28 m
→ Choose a diesel articulated boom lift for maximum working height and reach.
